[quote=Djshakes][quote=Arraya]Humane war, now that is funny. Maybe we should “just take the gloves off” instead of listening to whinny liberals and really win this thing, eh..
We are a very violent culture. which is not surprising with the radical, paranoid and violent ruling class. These people use the U.S. military (which they and the children rarely serve in) around the globe with disasterous results, force radical demographic and social change at home . The have us wired up to monitor our mail, phone calls, emails, financial transactions, ect..
They go around, like paranoid schizophrenics hearing voices in their heads, from country to country bombing, killing and displacing millions looking for a mysterious organization that hates us for our freedoms.
Our government is sick and we are all mentally ill.[/quote]
History didn’t start when America was formed. What you described has been going on since the beginning of mankind. So, while we may be mentally ill, so is the rest of mankind according to your definition.[/quote]
Well, I’d trace the current madness back to the mid neolithic period. Hierarchical structure always need violence to uphold and state sanctioned violence becomes accepted. But, that is another discussion. I agree, we are all mentally ill to one extent or another and the cultural pathology seems to have gone malignant. Part of the mental illness is misplacing cause and effect. We seem to spend all our time and resources fixing, diagnosing and complaining about symptoms.
